Guys, Thanks to your help, I'm much closer now. I think the configure in gnustep-base is finding FFI, but it's just not liking what it's finding:
"checking FFI library usage... configure: error: The ffi library (libffi) does not appear to be working." I've recompiled and reinstalled libffi 3.0.10 a few times now, but it doesn't seem to help. pkg-config is hosed on my system, and trying to recompile it fails, because it requires... pkg-config. Any thoughts?

That's why pkg-config exists.
